B is for Baby.
Written by Atinuke and
illustrated by Angela Brooksbank.
Walker Books 2020.
B is for Baby tells of an adventurous baby who goes on an unexpected journey with her Brother on his Bicycle. This book is filled with all sorts of words beginning with B. Baby sees Beautiful Birds, Butterflies, Baboons and a Big Baobab on her way to see her Baba. Children love to recite all of the B words especially Baby and Biscuit when the family are reunited at the end.
Visually stunning, vibrant and infused with humour, the entire book is bursting with energy, warmth, rich colour and beauty. A total treat to share and to pore over; an enriching must have for home, nursery or school collections and another terrific Atinuke/ Angela Brooksbank collaboration.

Brooksbank’s use of colour is superb, wonderfully reproducing the vibrancy of the local flora and fauna of the village. You can almost smell the Bougainvillea! Her scenery illustrations are incredibly detailed and movement bursts from the page, really bringing the simple text structure to life.
